In the present study, the first record, occurrence and distribution of three different pathogens: two protistan pathogens; a coccidian and a neogregarine, and an entomopoxvirus from the European cockchafer, Melolontha melolontha L. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are given. A neogregarine pathogen was recorded for the first time from M. melolontha populations. A coccidian pathogen, Adelina melolonthae was recorded for the first time for Turkey. An entomopoxvirus was recorded from a new locality, Kocaeli in Turkey, The infections caused by pathogens were observed in the haemolymph and fat body of the adults and larvae. The occurrence and distribution of these pathogens in the M. melolontha populations are also presented. Key words: biological control, Melolontha melolontha, entomopathogen, protist, neogregarine. The European or common cockchafer, Melolontha sects and are of interest as agents for natural con- melolontha L.

  • A STUDY of SPOROZOAN PARASITES of STORED PRODUCTS COLEOPTERA By
    1. A STUDY OF SPOROZOAN PARASITES OF STORED PRODUCTS COLEOPTERA By R.W. ASHFORD, B.Sc.(Lond.), A. thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philesopy in the Faculty of Science of the University of London. Dept. of Zoology and Applied Entomology, Imperial College Field Station, Ashurst Lodge, Sunninghill, Ascot, Berkshire. FEBRUARY, 1967 2. ABSTR2,CT A new species of neogregarine protozoan, Lymphotropha tribolii Ashford(1965) is described from the haemocoele of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). The trophozoites, which live extracellularly in the haemolymfa are larse, and have longitudinal striae. There is only one type of schizogony, in which about eight merozoites are produced, and this is rarely seen. Gametogony produces 32 gametes, but instead of the expected 16, an average of 9 or 10 lemon shaped spores (oocysts) are formed. Young larvae only of T. castaneum were susceptible, and a dose of 105 spores per sL. of culture medium caused 50 mortality. Larvae of four other species of Tribolium were also cuseerti111,?, but T.confusum proved refractive to infection. The parasites produced a pronounced host reaction in the form of encapsulation. However, as only encysted gametocytes were affected, little benefit could be had by the insect. The parasites had remarkably little effect on the physiology of the host; no gross changes could be discerned in larval oxygen uptake, susceptibility to D.D.T., or activity. The disease caused severe reduction of the food reserves in the ft body, and slowed the rate of larval gain in weight. Death was thought to be caused by the physical obstruction of the host/ssystem, and by a form of tissue starvation.

  • Assessment of Cotton As an Alternative Host Plant for the Brown Citrus Aphid, Toxoptera Citricida (Homoptera: Aphididae)
    Michaud: Cotton as Host Plant for Brown Citrus Aphid 105 ASSESSMENT OF COTTON AS AN ALTERNATIVE HOST PLANT FOR THE BROWN CITRUS APHID, TOXOPTERA CITRICIDA (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE) J. P. MICHAUD University of Florida, Citrus Research and Education Center, 700 Experiment Station Road, Lake Alfred, FL 33850 Current Address: Kansas State University, Agricultural Research Center—Hays, 1232 240th Ave., Hays, KS 67601 ABSTRACT Seven populations of Toxoptera citricida (Kirkaldy) were sampled in central Florida sweet orange groves in 2001. All populations contained individuals that accepted cotton seedlings as a host in a no-choice situation; many of these matured and deposited nymphs that also de- veloped and became reproductive on the same plant. Significant differences were noted among populations with respect to the proportion of nymphs accepting, maturing, and ulti- mately reproducing on cotton. Differences in aphid survival were largely a function of differ- ences in host plant acceptance, rather than differential mortality on the plant. A significant proportion of the apterous adults maturing on cotton abandoned the plant without reproduc- ing. Second and third instars transferred from laboratory colonies maintained on sweet or- ange were more accepting of cotton than were either first or fourth instars. Apterous adults accepted cotton at rates similar to second and third instars. Alate adults settled on cotton seedlings in greenhouse choice experiments and probed the plants, but none deposited nymphs. Alatae that matured on cotton readily accepted citrus for feeding and reproduction. It is concluded that cotton may be useful as a factitious host plant for rearing T. citricida in the laboratory, but field planted cotton is unlikely to serve as a reservoir of the aphid in re- gions where citrus is grown.

Here we provide the first description of a natural infection of members of the beetle family Monotomidae with neogregarines and specifically the first finding of such a pathogen in the predatory beetle Rhizophagus grandis. The fat body of the beetle is the site of infection, and the typical navicular oocysts are 11.87 ± 0.67 μm in length and 6.96 ± 0.43 μm in width (n = 60). Polar plugs are recognisable using light and electron microscopy. The oocyst wall is quite thick, measuring 400 to 500 nm. Oocysts are formed pairwise within a gamontocyst, and each oocyst has eight sporozoites. The described neogregarine pathogen in R. grandis has the typical characteristics of members of the genus Mattesia (family Lipotrophidae) within the order Neogregarinida.

  • Virulence Determinants in a Natural Butterfly-Parasite System
    657 Virulence determinants in a natural butterfly-parasite system J. C. de ROODE*, L. R. GOLD and S. ALTIZER Department of Environmental Studies, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA (Received 22 September 2006; revised 17 October 2006; accepted 18 October 2006; first published online 4 December 2006) SUMMARY Much evolutionary theory assumes that parasite virulence (i.e. parasite-induced host mortality) is determined by within- host parasite reproduction and by the specific parasite genotypes causing infection. However, many other factors could influence the level of virulence experienced by hosts. We studied the protozoan parasite Ophryocystis elektroscirrha in its host, the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus. We exposed monarch larvae to wild-isolated parasites and assessed the effects of within-host replication and parasite genotype on host fitness measures, including pre-adult development time and adult weight and longevity. Per capita replication rates of parasites were high, and infection resulted in high parasite loads. Of all host fitness traits, adult longevity showed the clearest relationship with infection status, and decreased continuously with increasing parasite loads. Parasite genotypes differed in their virulence, and these differences were maintained across ecologically relevant variables, including inoculation dose, host sex and host age at infection. Thus, virulence appears to be a robust genetic parasite trait in this system. Although parasite loads and genotypes had strong effects on virulence, inoculation dose, host sex and age at infection were also important. These results have implications for virulence evolution and emphasize the need for a detailed understanding of specific host-parasite systems for addressing theory. Key words: virulence evolution, host-pathogen interaction, infectious disease, Apicomplexa, neogregarine, horizontal transmission, vertical transmission.
